On Campus Stadium or Indoor Practice Facility

I'd lean towards an IPF first and then go the OCS route. My line of thinking is that the IPF would have more utility with - or without - the OCS. RayJ still has a pretty long lifespan, and given the way things are shaking out, I don't see the detriment in letting the OCS sit on the back burner a bit longer.

Honest question:

How did the ucf gnats get both an IPF and an OCS? Was it state funded? Do they have a bigger alumni base?

This is like asking your wife if you would rather redecorate the bathroom or move from your two bedroom abode to the mansion Tiger Woods is selling.

 

The dollar values between these two options makes the poll a moot point.

They're in debt up to their unicorn horn.  Bonds, bonds, and more bonds.

And they weren't particular about either ....

OCS...not even a question.

 

Totally agree

 

But it's apples and pomegranates - $15m for the IPF and $150-300m for the OCS

 

Order of magnitude. We'll get the IPF while we're waiting for the OCS

 

 

My hubby asked Harlan about the IPF at Mutt's event, and was told that it would cost betweent $35-45 million! My hubby also thought that it was only about $15million to build. Harlan has discussed it with Taggart, but it's up in the air at the moment. With limited $$$ to spend they want to consider all options across all sports, before making any new commitments.

 

 

Hubby's right. The new one at FSU was $15 million. Hopefully it being up in the air isn't based on that outrageous figure Harlan is going off of .... and what other options are needed across all sports at this time? Tennis is the only one I can think of and honestly, they should get theirs before an IPF.

 

 

Last time an IPF was seriously discussed, they wanted a multi-sport IPF... for football, base/softball and soccer.

However even when this was discussed in 2012, they had $14M as a ballpark figure.

That's why I find it a little disconcerting that our AD had a conversation with CWT about the IPF without really knowing the cost .....

But, if they keep winning, though...

They won't

This was my thinking. IPF would fill a more immediate need than an OCS, and as others have said, could be built to accomodate more than just football.

I hate agreeing with you, but I do in this case 100%.
